Twin Oaks Bbq

The barbecue is good, the beans are great, and the fries are beyond outstanding. Twin Oaks is a Brunswick institution and a huge part of my childhood.

This place was a refreshing find! We wanted some BBQ and brunswick stew while we were visiting Jekyll Island. The fries are battered which were divine. The pulled pork was well smoked. The brunswick stew was different than what I am used to, but still delicious. It was chunkier than what I make at home, but that didn’t stop us from devouring it. My toddler actually ate off of our plates which is always a win. Anytime she eats something besides chicken fingers I’m astounded. There is a lot of history on the walls. I wish I had had more time to look at everything there. We will be back next time we visit the coast!

Okay. .. so this review is a little premature.
Because I haven’t had the barbecue.
General consensus among my family is that it’s not good. But the battered fries are TO DIE FOR.
My brother and Mother will actually drop in just to get an order — I sampled a few — and I had to agree. One of these days — when I’m feeling braver — I’ll try a pulled pork sandwich and update my review accordingly.

Still the best fries I’ve ever had. Chopped pork sandwich is better than ever… smoky, with burnt ends mixed in. Eat in the back dining room and Linda will take great care of you!

This place is a great family BBQ. It is a preserved old diner, and they haven’t changed their menu in years– but it’s a good thing. The food here is amazing, everyone at the table was pleased and happy. We drove an hour to taste some authentic Brunswick stew, and it was well worth the wait. The stew was the best we had ever had, and if we lived nearby, we would come again. If you are thinking about maybe coming here, you should.

One of the best hidden gems of Brunswick! They have the most delicious battered fries and bbq! It hasn’t changed in over 20 years! If you’re in the area, it’s a must try!

My husband and I miss The Georgia Pig and when he asked online why it closed, it started a thread about good BBQ in Brunswick. This place got several mentions so we decided to give it a try. The fries are awesome! The BBQ however… there’s not enough sauce in the world to save it. It was bland and greasy.

Beautiful live oaks and spanish moss on the outside and a great whiff of barbecue led to high expectations. Despite the very friendly and helpful curb service, it was not to be, though. While the chipped pork barbecue and the chicken both had good flavor, both were overly dry. As others have said, the fries were excellent, though.

Best fries on the planet. Ribs are wonderful. Actually everything is great. Generous servings, super friendly staff. This looks like a hole in the wall. .and really, that is exactly what it is! But who cares about looks when you get awesome BBQ.

They need to update their hours on the building and online. Claims they open at 6am for breakfast Mon — Sat. Stopped by at 8am on a Wednesday and the place was locked up tight. Won’t come back again.

Whatever happened to barbeque restaurant that was next to the factory outlet stores that closed several years ago. My friend loved their ribs & she’s real sick. Thanks

I used to go there all the time when I lived in Brunswick about 40 years ago. Nice to know they are still around. I STILL get cravings for the battered fries. Wish I had the recipe since I live in California now.

Always included in our trips to coastal Georgia, this place has the best BBQ, battered fries, onion rings, slaw, and grilled cheese. Plus they have a super friendly atmosphere. We love it!

Not bad BBQ. Its homey and quaint. Its not a chain and has been in BQK over 20 years. A landmark for Golden Isles Area.

Was ok, nothing too memorible.

Amazing BBQ at a very reasonable price. This establishment is always busy and deservedly so. The cole slaw is unique, fries are wonderful, and pulled pork is to die for. I highly recommend this place.

Was hoping for some good BBQ. Hopes dashed.
I had the ribs with battered fries n beans.
Ribs were dry like they have been sitting a little too long on the smoker.
I really wanted to love the battered fries but its nothing special. I think it’s missing something like a little Cajun seasoning on it. Mediocre!

Food sucks. Service is so so and those batter fries are AWFUL!

Good BBQ place off 95. Worth the drive off the interstate if you are looking for a break from the road.
The place seemed packed with locals, a good sign for a great place.
Onion rings are extremely delicious.
Fries are battered and very good yet I would prefer them to be as crispy as the rings.
BBQ sandwich was good but the highlight was the fries and rings.

Twin Oaks seems to be the fav of locals, and now we know why. The pork sandwiches are delicious, the pork pleasingly smoked and the sandwich stuffed high (we included the not-​too-​mayonnaisey slaw on top). The sauce is vinegary, tomato-​based and pretty tangy though not exceptional. A regular sandwich — all we could eat — goes for $ 4.95; add another buck for the jumbo. The French fries are nicely battered, crispy on the outside and almost mashed potato-​like inside. Very good! The menu offers a variety of meats and sides, and lunch meat with two veggies is just $ 7.95. Twin Oaks also serves what looks like a yummy breakfast, though we haven’t tried it.
Nothing fancy here, but a lot for barbecue lovers to sample. Not the best we’ve had, but well worth a return visit. The servers are friendly, the atmosphere laid back and the building itself something of a relic. Just like most good barbecue joints, in fact.
